Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers (was:Newbie

[Guest guest]

I made one of the black bean burger recipes in the files, it was SO much better

than the frozen soyburgers! I set it up with all he fixin's for my hubby (not

veg) and he enjoyed it (and it was very filling). If I didn't HAND it to him

all ready to eat, he wouldn't chose it himself, but he's pretty good about

trying new things.

 

Make sure the beans are DRY and that after forming the patties you chill them

for a bit (and they freeze well too!). This is the one I used:

 

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers

1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (and dry)

1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces(I used mushrooms instead, peppers

don't agree with me!)

1/2 onion, cut into wedges (drain excess water after processing) 3 cloves

garlic, peeled

1 (or 2) eggs (or eggbeaters)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce

1/2 cup bread crumbs (or oats/rice/ritz crackers)

DIRECTIONS:

1.If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet

of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and

lightly oil a baking sheet.

2. In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.

3.In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir

into mashed beans.

4.In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.

5.Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the

mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties. CHILL

before cooking

6.If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If

baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.

Chipotle mayo (mayo, dash Ranch dressing, canned chipotle pepper)

One thing I'm surprised I do not like are the fake meat veggie burgers, etc. It

makes me miss the real thing. I would rather have a big portobella cap than a

soyburger any day.>

I wonder if you could add some epazote to this. Hm, now the question is how

much.

 

I will have to try this.

 

Thanks,
